Today’s Mars/Saturn aspect can seem either like someone or something is trying to stop you from speaking or from advancing or someone is trying to push or attack you. Again, over the next day, try to integrate both energies. If you need to assert yourself today, balance what you want to say with some maturity and a longer view of what’s essential to express. What’s the greater purpose beyond this one interaction? If there’s a way you need to discipline yourself right now, see if something in your immediate environment can help you – whether it be data, a conversation, or just a message you pick up from your surroundings.

At 8:11 a.m. EDT the moon enters Leo, the sign of the Performer, the Clown, and the King or Queen. Try to open yourself up to spontaneity and silliness. Remember your own dignity and the dignity of the other person in your interactions and try to take some moments over the next two days to put yourself more on display and to appreciate the people who show up.

I’m feeling kind of sad as my family vacation ends – the last vestiges of the Cancer moon before the Leo moon begins. I’m filled with appreciation for what my parents have created and who each of us is – right down to the Littlest Who, six-year old Elena.

I hope in the past two days something has reminded you of love and safety, and now you can take a chance to shine.
